My loyalty to DMC only goes about arms length. I play DMC for gameplay and that is what makes me a fan. I came to this forum to get informed about the world of DMC, which also makes me a fan. My favorite Dante is 1 and 2. The rest just came off as annoying. I'm very pleased to see that NeoDante might have something interesting to talk about. Everything isn't always so cut and dry, black and white, if you will. I still prefer OrigiDante over NeoDante and thats because i have nothing else to go on about NeoDante. But that doesn't mean i have to choose one over the other.
I like them both but obviously i like OrigiDante more because i am more familiar with him and i enjoyed the gameplay and his fighting style. Every game in the series has a different Dante, so you are kinda forced to like his different personalities, or like you said, you have to like either DMC1 Dante, who is cool headed all the time while having a good time, very mature. Or dmc2 Dante, where he is at his strongest, and from my eyes, he doesnt need to say a word anymore because he is the legend now. Or dmc3 and 4 dante who is very arrogant and can't take anything seriously.
so who's your favorite dante?
